Here is a basic streetport I did a couple weeks back on a 6 port block. On this one I didnt fully polish the intake runners and bowl, I dont really believe it helps but some customers prefer it.:)

You dont want none of my intake ports:D However, I dont want none of your exhaust ports:D

That shit is damn impressive. I thought I had passed my teacher, this young grasshopper apparantly still has a lot to learn:)

Here is one of my 6 port motors. Please excuse the overuse of hylomar. I was a touch liberal.

One more. Here are the primary ports in my 10th AE

Looks nice, I dont think you have to worry about the coolant seals moving during install :)

Thanks. Who wants a pinched coolant seal? Thats an extra headache. I always like to see everyones port work. Each one has its own personality so to speak.

To late.
The engine is back together and running.
I'm waiting for some misc. replacement parts and the break-in period to be over, until I can see what those ports do.

Thats an odd setup - yea, with the ports still IN though, I would think that would hurt performance while the ports are closed but who knows.

A note on those earlier ports by David Jerome - the shape is pretty good, but bevel them leading andedges! And on EFI - polishing the bowls does make a difference from what I've seen...

Well Ive removed the sleeves and actuating rods.

I too have wondered about polishing the runners, haven't read much about it, it seems to me its either way effectiveness.
About the runners...
What dose one use, just a grinding stone, or is there a finer grit stone out there, or dose one somehow get a sanding thing in there, or all of the above, depending on how smooth one wants the runners?

WE3RX7 03-20-2008 02:15 PM

I use an extension for a electric dremel with sanding paper - working it with some fine paper and then hit it with some polishing compound. I'm a bling junkie though.

The concept for me is - on carb cars, usually keeping a mildly rough surface helps to atomize the fuel and oxygen as it tumbles through the intake track since carbs doent mix as well. However, w/ EFI - since the injectors spray pattern is MUCH more precise and accurate than a carb's squirter/metering block/jets, the fuel and oxygen atomize earlier/better, so you want as smooth as possible surface to accelerate the mixture...

Dunno, kind of old school logic, but makes sense to me...
